So, Moab. Yesterday I did a hike up to Corona Arch/Bowtie Arch...and hiked all along slickrock beds. Millions of years permeate those rocks and I was humbled as I was surrounded by the tall rock guardians of the desert. The desert looks like nothing to a lot of people, but it holds secrets and truth and keeps a journal for the Earth's years. The spirituality here emanates.
I also got to mark something off my Life List...I rode my bike through Arches National Park last evening. It's so hot here, I had to wait until early evening to start. I have been to Arches several times, and it is one of my favorite places on earth. To see it, on Bette...friends, it was an amazing feeling. I watched the sun melt down below the rock formations and imagined the sleeping giants waking to begin their work. I'd never been to Arches this late and it was awe-inspiring. I'm so happy I got the opportunity to do that ride. I rode thru the desert on my Bette. Sa-weeeeeeet!
I'm on the fence right now about what, exactly, will be next. I know I'm due in Dirty Vegas to put some demons to rest in Boulder City and out towards Red Rock Canyon. I don't know how much riding I want to do here, and I still have the Pac Northwest/Canada coming up. And another factor I didn't anticipate reared its ugly head the last few days...I am really looking forward to going home. And no, I don't mean home to Asheville, I mean home to my new home. For those of you that don't know, I am moving to Myrtle Beach and I will be living with my Rock Star room mate, Wimberly (Hi Rock Star!). I don't know yet if this will be the Final Move as I'm still auditioning places, still considering options, but it is so nice to have a home for the immediate future, a safe place to gather myself together for whatever is next.
